oh no :(  really sorry to hear about the abscess.

I hope it's clearing up now and that it's just onwards and upwards from here.  You've done so well to stick with this for so long through everything!  xx

Just on way to breast clinic now. Fingers crossed the abscess is easily sorted and I don't need a surgical incision.

Hi all

Well it was a confirmed abscess. The doctor poked and prodded it which was really sore and then they tried needle aspiration via ultrasound. Unfortunately they weren't able to get much from it. The doctor said it will likely take a while to resolve so looks like I'll be going back weekly.  In the meantime the abscess has moved closer to the surface and the skin is all stretched and flakey.  I'm still able to feed but if i touch the area at all it is agony. I'm not looking forward to going on Wednesday.

Feeding in general is going well now although am still using nipple shields. I'm not putting myself under pressure to get rid of them until the abscess is resolved. But it is a pain feeding out and about using the shields. Not very discrete! 

Any thoughts on relieving the pain in this abscess?

Oh that sounds really painful. Poor you! Are you putting any creams on the skin? Would that be too painful?   I'm thinking I had this lavender gel from boots and it was great on a cold sore, not the same thing of course, but it took the heat and infection away and the soreness, quite quickly and was good for healing the skin too.  Did dr not suggest somethjng?

You're a star and I hope you know it. ((Hugs))

((hugs)) for the abscess.  I hope you can find something to alleviate it.  It sounds so painful.

Pleased to hear that BFing is going well now though.  You are really amazing!
